Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[My participation to apple]

Not bad at all

I was a little disappointed about the lack of music, but it wasn't half bad besides that. You should also probably put in some sound effects. While it may have been short, it had really all of the animation I would expect from a stick flash such as this. I also thought the ending was really funny when it was pretty much pointless. I also liked the color tone you used for this. With more story and sound, I'm sure you could become a popular author.

stickmakerflash responds:

The Ending; remember when the stickman shot the apple? the bullet did'nt went through. So, when he bit it, the bullet was still there and he choked and hicupped. Get it?! If not, watch it again

[Parallel Memories: Teaser]

Quite strange

I was expecting a lot of voice acting in this itself, but there was really none at all. I mean yeah, it's a teaser and I can understand why there wouldn't be, but I still found it odd to credit so many voice actors. This series looks pretty good so far. The sprites seem to be well-animated even if the drawings show they may be recolors of popular characters. It is certainly creative with all of those characters. I was surprised you didn't do any character analysis for the villians.

Pienkaito responds:

Well, you obviously didn't find the easter egg yet.
And the villains are still unknown to make it more interesting.

[Spark-Boy snowday]

That was wierd

I loved Red Baron's appearance, but I couldn't really understand this at all. I gues the black kid who flew was supposed to be Red Baron or Sparkboy or something? I guess this is one in a series, and I don't know anything about it. It kind of left on a loose end, and I'm sorry that you were not able to complete it if that was the case. I mean, I thought the animation and the voices were pretty good, but hard to understand. I guess I can at least give you credit for creating a fairly original concept.

beastkid7 responds:

yeah sorry bout that -thanx for your honest review.

[CS.SiFvsSa2C#4]

Very impressive!

I've seen tons of stick flashes and I can still say this was very creative. I loved the variety of weapons used and the different character designs, showing how creative you can get with this. I'm not even sure if this is technically something "stick" as it's pretty bulgy. I'm going to go and recommend this for a collection when I'm done. I especially liked the zombie bite and the ending credits. It was also cool to have a change of scenery, you know, go to a snowy place.

Mejson responds:

Hey,

Thanks for good comments. I think that zombie mode was very interesting but I could do this better. I try to make my movie better so maybe 5# part will be good like 4# or better.

Regards

[Bear meets boy]

Uh, it was okay

I admired the use of color in this (especially the bears), but other than that it had very little. I guess the song was kind of funny and set forth a goofy emotion. I would have liked this better if it was part of the collab and it doesn't do much for itself on its own. I was expecting some vicious bear attack as that's what bears are known for. I guess this works fine for its intention, as something created for a collab. The animation wasn't too good, but you should try to have more jokes and more action.

Rooster responds:

Yeah, that collab fell through, so I was thinking I should make this longer into a series perhaps.

[Paper's edge]

Quite impressive!

I'm a big fan of these cartoons that have a heavy use of stop motion to create this effect. It was nice of you to make a version strictly for Newgrounds and mention your YouTube profile. I was particularly impressed by the eraser that showed up and then exploded. I was also entertained by all of the "P"'s you put in your description. I'm not quite sure if you should add Ps or Ss to that. Anyway, while not one of my favorites, this obviously took a lot of effort to make and was able to tell a good story in the process.

stickbob123 responds:

Thank you for ur exact opinion...it's always appreciated

[simpsons]

Not terrible

I know this was submitted on Clock Day and was obviously intended to be more of a joke flash. I didn't really understand this well, as the animation wasn't too good. I guess the cheesiness added a little to the enjoyment, but overall it needs work. You should experiment with different color techniques to make the backgrounds different. Who exactly was that Auron guy supposed to be? I could've sworn he was a character from "Kingdom Hearts" or something like that.

diogoshx responds:

right...
it was a joke flash, the animation was very simple to understand, not to much efects, not to much smokes,
this was like a Simplistic animation with nothing more, but most people like it fact, the background i admit is hard to work with him,

Auron was A little TRIBUTE to one of my best games Kingdom Hearts,

some people may think this is dificult to understand, but the original language of this flash is portuguese!

And i did this animation, a loong ago, tks you have more questions?

[DBZ: The Cave]

That was quite different

In terms of DBZ parodies, I'm used to stuff that makes fun of how they fight and stuff. I was surprised to see Krillin and Master Roshi as the stars, but it's unique at least! The animation was very nice, giving off a lot of good body exaggerations, especially when Master Roshi was screaming. This was very silly as everything just happened for no reason. They were in a cave, then Vegeta showed up, then they died, and it just happened. At first I thought the sign said, "Ce Etar", but now I realize it was missing the "M" and "Y" to spelled out "Cemetary".

vlaktemaat responds:

thank you for taking the time to give a nice review :D

[Alphie's story]

Great stuff!

I remember first watching another part of this and was quite impressed. It looks as though you have truly outdone yourself! This is some of the best usage of simple color (without shades) that I have ever seen! All the motions are done wonderfully and I loved how there was an explanation for what went on, as I was confused by 786 years passing. I look forward to seeing the next chapter in this series and hope you get the recognition you deserve. Robots in the future may not seem like that much of an original idea, but it's wonderfully done here!

vezanmatics responds:

OMG thank you so much for this great review! The next chapter of Alphie's story is on its way, and it's probably going to be ten times better than this, I hope. I also hopefully won't have to include a massive explanation, as the next one has more dialogue and the story speaks for itself. Anyway, thanks!
